Unified communications solutions have created a permanent place in businesses today for their ability to extend reach, improve productivity and save on costs. As companies look for ways to allow their teams to work together seamlessly, UC solutions provide the answer.

Now, a new partnership in India between telecommunications service provider, Bharti Airtel (News - Alert) and Zoom Video Communications will deliver all the benefits of secure, HD audio, video and web conferencing to businesses in the region so they too can compete on a global level.

The next-gen unified cloud service offers everything businesses need to keep their employees connected via voice and video as well as additional features like one-click access, call recording, content sharing and simple payment options.

“The solution is designed to truly simplify the user experience and will bring immense value to customers. With Airtel’s reliable global connectivity and Zoom’s globally proven expertise in communications, customers can look forward to quality service experience,” said Ajay Chitkara, Director and CEO at Airtel Business.

The Airtel and Zoom conference calling solution also offers multi-layer security and meeting participation for up to 1,000 people located anywhere across the world as well as live streaming for video webinars with up to 50,000 viewers.

Airtel’s enterprise customers will be able to now use Zoom’s built-in audio conferencing for free and access local dial-in numbers for over 55 countries so that call participants can join conference sessions easily over audio for unlimited minutes.
